Article Synopsis
- This study is the first to report on the composition, antimicrobial potential, and antioxidant abilities of essential oil derived from Baccharis oreophila leaves, obtained via hydrodistillation and analyzed with GC/MS.
- The essential oil yielded 0.47% and contained 65 compounds, primarily khusimone and spathulenol, with a notable presence of oxygenated compounds and hydrocarbons.
- Antimicrobial activity was confirmed against S. aureus and C. albicans, while antioxidant properties were evaluated using FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH methods, highlighting the essential oil's significant biological potential for further research.
